GRANT RIDDLE, OF RIDDLE, IDAHO.

COVER FOR AU'I OMOBILE-TIRES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed my 9, 1916. Serial No. 96,352.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GRANT RlDDLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Riddle, in the county of Owyhee and State of Idaho, have invented a new. and useful Cover for Automobile-Tires, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a cover for automobile tires as illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

The drawing shows the tire cover made 01'' a network of steel cables.-

' versely through the steel cables A. They are 9,; inch in diameter or larger according to the size of the tire, and spaced 1 inch apart. All ends of cables, and at all points where the small cables 13, intersect the larger ones A, are riveted or electrically welded together.

C are rlamps to fasten the tire cover to ,the rim of the wheel.

This con-r is to he made the exact size of the tire for which it is made, so that when the tire is inflated, the cover will become tight. Instead of depending on the strength of the tire alone, this cover strengthens the tire prevents blow-outs and lessens the liability of punctures, and makes the tire absolutely non-skid.

\Vith this cover to strengthen the tiie, much lighter and less expensive tires can be used.

I claim:

A. tire armor comprisinga plurality of strands adapted to extend circumferentiaily of a wheel, and a plurality of transversely disposed strands threaded through the first named strands, the intersecting portions of the circumferential. strands and the transverse strands being welded one to the other.
